About this role
TotalBond Riverbend is recruiting veterinary technician students for an externship program designed to bridge classroom learning and real-world practice. You'll work directly with veterinarians, technicians, and support staff across a range of clinical duties—from assisting with exams and diagnostics to monitoring anesthesia, conducting lab work, taking radiographs, and caring for hospitalized animals. The role also includes client education on preventive care and maintaining clinical standards.
This is a structured learning opportunity aimed at making you practice-ready by graduation. You'll receive mentorship from experienced professionals, exposure to both routine and emergency cases, and a collaborative environment built to support your development. The program explicitly signals potential for employment after you complete your degree, making it a meaningful pathway into the profession rather than a one-off rotation.
You'll need to be currently enrolled in an accredited veterinary technician program, with genuine enthusiasm for animal care and strong communication skills. Prior knowledge of animal handling and medical terminology helps, but the emphasis is on your willingness to learn and your ability to work effectively as part of a team.
